Production values...
I've watched quite a few of these, frequently with curled toes. I had no idea that there's been a fatal accident associated with this series but I'm not surprised. Anyone got a link to information about it?
Whilst I'm not a pilot I'm interested in aviation - as with many other subjects - and I'm often pretty shocked by the attitudes exhibited by the participants. Of course as with all these "reality" shows, there's a huge pressure from the producers (the still extant producers anyway) to create dramatic tension. Hence the constant requirement for cliff-hanging "emergencies". I wonder how many of these are manufactured? After all the revenue from the show is obviously a factor in the economics of the operations involved.
Is preening egomania a necessary qualification for ferry flying I wonder?
